@@TheFragranceApprentice I've got the 2007 Dior Homme Cologne too, if you wanna smell that?
I love Dior Homme Eau. Such a good office fragrance. Shame it was discontinued
I can imagine the duck's face getting red when George appreciated Demachy🤣
I heard Rich Mitch was a Fragrance Snob!!!!!! Lol
Thank you, George! Your content is such a breath of fresh air. Fragrance RUclips is starting to become what the fragrance industry became in the early 2000’s. Stale. So thank god for you. 🔥
Dior Homme Sport 2021 has been an awesome pickup for me. The women have loved it on our channel. Not big on Dior Homme Parfum or Intense, but those were discontinued from the US market. I'm curious if they change Dior Homme Cologne 2022 much, the notes listed are the same but you never know. Dior Homme 2020 to me was for someone who didn't want to wear a loud fragrance, which makes sense with the heavy use of Iso-E Super.
I keep saying this: georgie is the best fragrance youtuber. So smart and charming. 👏👏👏
George you consistently make the most informative and entertaining videos. Cheers from North Carolina.
Just bought Dior Homme cologne 2022 and love it for its light, refreshing scent and frankly, for its close projection and subtlety.
i was so inspired by your video about travel, i visited cappadochia this new year, and flew in a baloon:) i wore ombre leather, since i couldn't find zaharoff here in serbia. thank you for the inspiration
This video is a masterpiece as well as Dior Homme
George your history videos are my favorite. please keep making these
so this is some serious conversation! thanks for always bringing up the level in terms of fragrances content.
dior homme 2011 turn on my interest in fragrances, and dh intense made me collect them, so this is a pretty special line for me. DHI the best of all imho,
greetings from Chile! you the MVP!
What a video..so articulate and deep and introspective..love your work my man
Best Frag youtuber on all of the interwebs. Thank you for your content!
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm a big fan of this line and have a blessed day
Just the video I needed tbh. I was thinking of getting Dior Homme but see so many talks of reformulations & different versions
Dude: I bought Oud Aromatic, blindly, after watching your last video. Kudos! I was sitting on the fence but when you brought it up I pulled the trigger. No regrets. I've been wearing it since it arrived (three days straight). My only complaint: longevity/sillage. I'm hoping it was because of the shipping so I'm going to let it sit for a bit before wearing again (it's hard!!). Anyway, thanks so much for the recommendation. Life changing. I have 40 fragrances now and this shot to number one. Thanks!
Dior Homme Eau was very underrated, super versatile all in one type of fragrance
Eau was the best
second best IMO, or maybe even the best. I love it and actually one of the most complimented fragrances i have
And it has good performance!
Looking very stylish George!!!👍🏾 And another super history lesson ❤️
wearing DHI right now and just got a discontinued DH Eau today. Love the line!
I’ve made it my quest to collect all the Dior Homme fragrances, even Eau. Technically 3 left but I need the Original as well.
Also, I wish your lengthy video of Dior Homme 2020 was available George. I freaking loved it!
Same bro same..
Im glad you do these! It shows an actually interest in the hobby. I’d be interested to see fragrance house evolutions. Maybe your take on Frederic Malle?
Spot on! Dior Homme Cologne is actually my signature scent. I layer it with Bois Blonds by Atelier on cooler days and when I want to provide some , body to the scent, but stand alone, DHC is a modern citrus floral masterpiece.
Just picked up Dior Homme intense because of your channel. Went to Ulta and sampled Dior Homme ,Dior Homme sport , Dior Homme
Like the intense , went pack a week later and all Dior fragrances had been pulled from shelves! Had to buy online .
Damn you do good content! Love the deep dives
Makes a change from a god damned top list , keep up the good work
Love the history breakdown. My favorite line that I like to collect. Probably because of the utter chaos.
Awesome topic and video
I wish you could see my Dior Homme collection. I’ve spent 2yrs collecting. I even have a MFK Dior Homme Cologne (silver stem)
Your Dior Homme and DHI reviews from your early years are what prompted me to buy all 20 bottles of the line that I own!
Amazing video 🔥 All the reformulations have been so confusing but thankfully i do still have a bottle of Dior Homme (prior to the 2020 version). I miss the original version of Dior Homme Sport which was brilliant + i'm kicking myself that i didn't get any spare bottles of it
Another great video, content I love And loon forward to listen to.
Dior Homme intense 2011 was the fragrance that got me back to collecting again
U r the freaking shit bro u deserved a lot more followers bro! Kudos to ur efforts to put us back on track in this frags life style 🔥
So glad I have two bottles of Eau in my collection. Actually really love it, although I wish the projection was a little louder. Will be using cautiously from now on. Dior homme original will forever be one of the most innovative fragrances ever.
I haven't been involved with fragrances long enough to have experienced the Dior line prior to the 2020 release, which I have in my ~8 fragrance collection. I cannot speak to the others, but I think Dior Homme 2020 would have been wildly renowned under a different name. It's very good and I get more compliments with it than any other fragrance I own, and I own some popular ones - allure homme sport eau extreme, la nuit d'lomme, cedrat boise, etc.
Excellent. My favorite from the line is Homme Intense, I can never get enough of it. I didn't care for the new one (2020) when I tried it a couple of times at the mall, it just seemed uninspired and bland but maybe I need to wear if a few more times. Cheers, George. Keep the videos coming
Dior Homme Eau is the best and most underrated Dior Homme fragrance in the entire line.
likely the biggest disgrace of fragrance world was that they discontinued DH Eau
Great video explained so perfectly brother
Another absolute banger of a video
This channel continues to be the epitome of niche fragrance discussion. Maybe not for everyone. Actually definitely not for everyone. People don't have the attention span to appreciate this kind of stuff. They want it fast and hard and full of deceitful top notes. But we're all base notes here baby
George sign my girlfriend
Dior Homme is my favorite line! I have bought sooo many back up bottles that I nearly have a total of 20 Dior Homme bottles. Vintage Dior Homme sport, eau, vintage bottles of intense, Homme original, and parfum.
Lovely academic/educational video fine sir
I haven't got any of that line yet, watching this is very informative
What about the “new” Dior homme original
(re-released in 2021) ?
Same shiet
Dior homme line is my favorite designer house love the parfum and the intense 👍 looking forward to see kurkdjian is going to do with the line. Was a pleasure watching 👍
Oh my god I’m so glad I found this video!!!
Today I bought Dior Homme for the first time ever. It was not entirely a blind buy, but certainly a buy with one eye closed and the other one squinting. I knew Dior Homme was hot, I knew it was a save buy, so I just sprayed it on the tester, briefly sniffed and then got it. Back at home, I sprayed it all over myself and .. to my horror I just thought “wtf is this??” This is NOT what I expected. It was nothing like the Dior Homme I knew from years ago. Nice green Top note that just dissolved into a stale leathery smell just minutes later. This is Dior Homme 2020 to me. Green and leathery. The green is nice and invigorating, but the stale leather scent is almost vomit inducing. I didn’t get it at first until I did some research and found out that they changed the formula! I’m now hoping to be able to return the 2020 version and already ordered the original from the Dior website. It’s a shame they didn’t post a disclaimer in the store. Now I’m kinda afraid that “the original” will be similarly disappointing.
I completely understand the community being frustrated with Dior, and all their reformulations. However, I respect the changes they’ve been going through. They remain my favorite designer house because they always find a way to set trends and be on top. They needed the Sauvage line to stay on the map with the general public and department stores. Also, sauvage has its place and it put ambroxan on the map. Sauvage elixir was a bit risky and it stands on its own as a masterpiece in my opinion. Dior Homme 2020 is an awesome fragrance, and to me it wasn’t something they did to throw away their legacy, it was just their legacy evolving with the times. Dior Homme 2020 is one of my favorite everyday colognes because it avoids smelling like a basic blue/aquatic/shower gel/ sweet freshie like all the other mass appealing scents, and instead leans woody/airy/masculine/elegant/sophisticated. I still love and adore the classic Dior Homme and I also find that Dior Homme Original is the best in the line with DHI in close second. But those fragrances are nowhere near as versatile as Dior Homme 2020 and that line needed a Swiss Army knife which they failed to achieve with Dior Homme Eau - which is great, but only for spring and summer imo. Dior Homme 2020 can be worn all year round with ease and it’s the only one in the Dior Homme line that has that kind of versatility. You have to respect that.
I'm glad I listened to you and at least tried pro-2020 Homme, Homme Intense, and Cologne. I accidentally Homme 2020 and I'm learning to appreciate it.
I rewatch this damn video so much
I love how Dior Homme 2020 just chilling by itself. I can tell whats coming already.
Dior homme Eau is my favourite of this great line as I wear it all season and it performs. partum is great but winter only for me
I'm a recent discoverer of George, so forgive the late posting, but...I'm absolutely puzzled by his dislike of DHP here, but at the same time, I can understand him, to some degree, at least. When I first smelled DHI and DHP a year ago, at the beginning of my frag journey, I despised them both. Now, a year later, and after trying literally hundreds of designer, cheap, expensive, mainstream, niche, etc., I think DHP may end up being my favorite fragrance ever. For me, DHP goes right up there with the greats, like Elysium, Naxos, etc., as it's the closest thing in quality and overall profile to a high-end niche scent from a designer. Perfection in a bottle, IMO.
Thank you! I've so been needing a breakdown of these, it's like you read my mind. Good stuff. OK, here's the other thing, related to this, that is also constantly on my mind these days that I would LOVE you to make a video of...All of the "post Dior Homme" related frags. Starting with Olivier Polge's continuation of what he did for Dior with Valentino Uomo. Then Uomo Intense vs Dior Homme Intense, and all the other iris/cocoa/leather frags that followed. There are the obvious and lesser entries from Givenchy and others, but then there's Tom Ford's F'ing Fabulous (I don't see iris listed but I know it's in there) and Tiziani Terenzi's Maremma...There are so many! I have a few but I need help sorting these out.
I'm on a roll...then how about Dior style iris vs Prada style iris. I love all of the above but I must say Prada's fantasy iris is goddam brilliant and I reach for it a bit more often than these makeup iris with cocoa and leather offerings. OK, I'm done. Thank you!
You need to check our Courreges’s take on iris then…
These videos are great, please keep making them! I normally play the videos in 1.5 or more speed, but for these I give them the time they deserve.
Very Nice George!
I love the parfum. Hard af to get but I woke up to a fragrancenet search for it every morning till my eyes did a double take and I bought it immediately. It sold out within the hour. I want another one. I hate using it at the cost of the level dropping. DHO, DHI and DHP are in my top 10 out of the 200 frags I own. they smell like happiness.
The original Dior Homme Sport is actually the ginger heavy one that smells like orange Tang. Quite close to Zara's original Orange Zest which.....was also discontinued. And the original Dior Homme Cologne (2007) rarely gets mentioned but....I actually prefer it over the 2013? And now...DH has 2 different formulas with 4 flankers, 3 of which smell like their original releases. 😵💫 Easily one of the most confusing lines ever created.
I've got a whole collection of fragrances, niche, designer but i always find myself going back to Dior Homme Intense, it's my main jam
I loved the Iris but the one I tried first was DHI and thanks to my skin chemistry, the sweetness was boosted. A similar thing happened with DHP as well whereby the darker notes overshadowed the Iris. So I tried Dior Homme OG and boy does it do everything that I've always wanted. The Iris is front and centre but its not overshadowed by any other notes. Its just bright and brisk with a lot of Iris. That's why its my favourite. Sadly with how things are going, I really think it's going to get the ban hammer soon but with how Dior kept the Parfum around as an exclusive, i'm gonna hope the OG stays around too 👍
I'm totally agree with your opinion on Dior Homme Parfum. My favourite is Dior Homme Intense.
Video I've been waiting for from you, didn't disappoint! 👏 DHP still my favourite, the Original close second. Never liked that weird pear note in the Intense, find it the most feminine leaning too, plus GF isn't a fan...You might like the 2020 DHP 100ml version more than the previous 75ml version - some apparent slight reformulation means it's less heavy and lost that hint of "charred meat" smell that was mildly present previously!
Charred meat will come out with maceration. My old DHP smelled like the new DHP does, when my bottle was new
Great video George, shout out to the 🦆
This history lesson does make sense. DH2020 nearly turned me off to the entire line before I got a sample of DHI, which lured me back. Since then, I've acquired DHO, DHP, and DBC. Depending on the situation, each one can be perfect fragrance, so no use picking a favorite. However, DHC is beginning to disgust me with its nauseating floral accord. It DOES NOT smell like 'iced lemonade'. If I could only keep one...DHI for its gorgeous dry down and performance.
I have all the 6 originals except 2020 and I love them all,
That's some passionate content 👏 👌
I have a 50ml bottle of DH and i treasure it. So so beautiful. Perfect for colder days. An amazing combination of cacao, iris and lavender
think this shift in focus to mass appeal was evident after the launch/relaunch of the Maison Christian Dior Collection in 2018. However, I really enjoy Homme 2020 and I'm happy to let the big sellers fund more niche-esque lines like "MCDC".
I'm really excited for Kurkdjian and I would love to smell his Homme Cologne from 2007 but it seems incredibly difficult to track down.
George I love your videos bro. You’re my favorite fragrance reviewer by FAR.
Need to get the popcorn ready before watching the video.
I just rebought Dior Homme Sport 2012... drained a bottle back in the day and I'm back in the fragrance game... just the bomb
I appreciate a discussion of the development and change of a work of art when so much of the fragrance videos are about acquisition and immediate gratification; may more fragrances take risks for the sake of capturing romance in a bottle.
Interesting. I have an actual production year 2005 50mil of Dior Homme and I always thought it had a bit of a darker note to it, like a leather. I bought it off ebay 2 years ago and it had never been sprayed. I guess there has been some sort of breakdown in the fragrance due to age but honestly it smells fantastic to me. I have a 2017 bottle and I really enjoy it however the 2005 batch lasts just a bit longer on my skin. The 2017 bottle of DHI that I own is a scent that I will forever love. The sample of Dior Homme Parfum, from the original 75 mil bottle, smells very elegant to me but I haven't decided if I truly like it. Haven't had a chance to wear it out properly. Time will tell.
I’ve now got over a hundred fragrances, I need to have a pint or a dram of whisky with you George! Just to to have a chat and sort out some niche frags lol
Thanks for the history lesson. I love Dior Homme 2011 and Dior Homme Intense. I bought Dior Homme cologne because you and love it. I have no idea what year it is that I purchased. I would love to try Dior Homme Parfum. I've never tried the sport version either. I've tried the new Dior Homme 2020 and it was okay. I think the second time I tried it, I didn't like it. So I'll try it again from my sample one day. I do prefer the iris/makeup bag smell. It is one of the most beautiful fragrances I've experienced. I really hope that C Dior can make the original available in the US. Distribution is being pulled from so many houses in the US. Do we not buy enough fragrances? I don't know. It's a mission to try to find things anymore.
fantastic video. Dior makes alot of nice ones , Dune and Eau Sauvage are nice old ones
Superb content, as always 👍🏻🙏🏻
💯 agree, although I actually prefer the 'toned down' Iris in the 2005-2010 DH (which is why I have 2005/2008/2009/2010 bottles) 😎
Have you tried the 2020 DHC..?
I'm very interested in what they've done to that 🤔
Honestly as an owner and lover of both dhi and homme2020 I think I prefer this move now in 2024. homme2020 makes a point to buy the regular version of the line and expands it rather than everyone just going for dhi and dhp, and in my mind when I smell the dhi and 2020, the connecting link is that woodsy scent- 2020 pushes the woodsy scent to an every day fragrance and capitalizes on it, dhi pushes it back a bit with lots of lovely sweet vanilla and cocoa, and that lovely date night iris! day and night, both have their place in Dior Homme.
I have the OG, Intense, and Eau. Eau is probably my favorite if I were to be honest, but the OG is the most versatile, and the Intense is the most dressed up.
I just ordered 2020, even though it is different from the rest, and will probably get the Parfum at some point.
got the whole line, past and present x3
I'm just missing the silver stem cologne and EDT.
hopefully MFK brings that back. 🤞🏾
I really think Givenchy is see that space that Dior left and going "alright then, I'll be taking that!" Case in point is the new reverse prive. They still have a bit of the mass appeal going on but they're twisting it with something different
Awesome video as always George. 2011 Dior Homme is my all time favorite fragrance. I don't like to think of myself as a hoarder, but if you saw my collection of back up bottles, you'd think I was. You would probably think I was insane. My grandchildren would probably have the chance to wear it if it hasn't gone rancid. 2012 and 2017 Sport are up there for me too. Not as many back up bottles of those, probably enough for my children to wear. DH 2020 is also a nice one. Pleasant, as you said. Another must have for me. But 2021 Sport is absolute trash to me. So disappointed in that one. Cologne is nice but there are other cheaper options out there that smell just as nice or better. Mercedes Benz Cologne to name one. Eau was a no go from me. Too powdery for my taste. I also love DHI and Parfum. You should really revisit Parfum. Maybe a video on it? Would love to hear your thoughts.
So you collect fragrances to pass them on to you children and grand children.... by that time thise scents will be considered "old man scents" and outdated.
Why would I wear my grandfather's fragrance? Or my father's from back on his prime.
I’m late to The Homme Line. In Canada, all I can get is 2020 editions. So, I got Dior Homme intense 2021 and……I like it. But I do have Valentino Uomo Intense which I love
Brilliant ✌️
I blind bought dhp today for $124 on fragrancenet.
I'm a big fan of dhi, prada lhomme intense, didn't like dh 2020 when I smelled at the mall, and never smelled classic dh, or any with iris in it.
Got a feeling I have a new signature cool weather scent on the way.
Dior Homme 2020 is so damn good, but I do wanna get my hands on Dior Homme Original. I've never tried it. Hopefully it'll be released in America.
I only own Dior Homme Eau!! Love it still have a 150ml. Bottle still about half left batch code (6x01)
Aside from the great review, with the subtitles on, the perfumers mentioned on this video are as follows:
- Olivier Poge
- Olivier Pulge
- Francis dimashi
- Olivier apologies
- Olivier Polish
- Francis Tomashi
- Francis Kerjan
- Francis Dimarci
Wearing both DHI and DH original. Great range, 100% unisex 👍
Best line ever. Period!
DHP is my Holy Grail, i got half a liter of it, 4 75ml and 2 100ml.
At least there's Dior Homme Original 2021 coming.
Nice 👍 video ! )
I Remember like yesterday, in 2006 i went to Moscow in a business trip and when I go to Sheremetyevo to flew back .. i bought in local Duty free a 100ml of Chanel Allure Homme & the "almighty" Dior homme (original), it was my first experience with this gem; i remember struggling firs wears )) all mi friends give me this comment of a bag with cosmetics 💄💅 🛍️ )))
Few years later i bought intense, and wear it a Lot! (I mean I re bay it every time since then..) but I don't wear it often last 4-5years, the new release 2020 & Sauvage line i don't love or hate , i gest don't buy them ...
Recently I find a 125ml of CD H Cologne and I fink i will buy it))
I have the silver stem Homme. It is great, but I haven’t worn it for like 2 years. I have the Parfum and love it. In addition, it always gets compliments. Sexy.
Homme Eau was a masterpiece.I regret its discontinuation.
i have two full bottles and I feel i need a third
@@centurionl I hate that it was discontinued.😐
This version of Dior Homme was made for the American market, Macyˋs, to be precise… i guess Dior thought would be more appealing to the american market than the original DH. In fact, DHI cant be found in the US (stores, i mean), but it easy to find it here in Mexico…
@@joseluisrodriguezritte2734 eau is by far the most complimented fragrance I have ever worn. That includes Creed Aventus. No hyperbole.
@@bjjace1 yep!! Im
With you… i have 3 bottles as stock…
Hey George,
I can't decide between Dior Homme Intense 2011 and 2020 version. Which one is better in your opinion? Also do you think Homme Intense is appropriate for guys in their early twenties?
L'Iris était utilisée pour des lavandes anglaises. Certains disent la proximité de Dior homme 2005 avec Iris ganache à laquelle on aurait ajouté du cuir.
I still have the original one from 2005, maybe 45 ml. What will be a price if I sell?
Dior Homme OG is all I need 💯
Well, this is spooky. I just picked up Dior homme sport 2021 and was literally looking for Dior homme intense. lol
Return it for Dior Homme Intense. That’s a masterpiece.
@@MPerry-ox9qb I quite like the new sport. I’ll get a lot of wear out of it this spring and summer. I’m still going to pick up DHI soon.
@@leemcabee2929 I need to check it out. How’s the performance?
@@MPerry-ox9qb it’s really good. Much better than the last iteration. I wore it a few days ago and got a solid 7 hours out of it and caught whiff throughout the day. Stays on clothes a lot longer as well.
What happened to the "Day Dior died" video?
Yeah. I miss that vid
DH 2020 is very addictive. Something earthy in it has this effect on me.
Sauvage edp is a killer frag which i adore, the best in the line up
I tried Dior Homme Sport and I smell mandarin orange from opening to drydown. I love it. But after I watch this video I wondet if the decant I got was Homme Sport or the seller put other fragrance incidentally 🤔
Waiting for the day you admit DH 2020 is DA BOMB!
I’ve wondered, what is your favorite Designer house, if it’s not Dior?
i saw a new 2012 bottle of the original homme, on mercari.
maybe i should go snag it
